Jeremy had a blast and earned all the beads and got a pocketknife from the trading post.  It got pretty hot during the latter part of the day, but the boys had fun!!

That's my boy! Loving the outdoors and having fun. I'm so glad that he got to go do that stuff and that Abby got to see it with him. I'm sure he'll have plenty more days of scouts and campouts well ahead of him. Enjoy it little man!

It was a fun day. Never been to one before. It was hot though.
